Books! ...The April Edition

I'm planning to start a new feature where, on a monthly basis, I will post what books I am reading, have recently read, and/or am planning to read soon.

Here goes the first one, for April:

The two books that I most recently finished reading were: Oryx and Crake, by Margaret Atwood, and Cujo, by Stephen King.

Oryx and Crake- This is a fabulous book, very original and fascinating! I highly recommend that you give it a read.

Cujo- I enjoyed Cujo quite a bit- I'm a big Stephen King fan, and am working my way through his back catalog. Definitely a creepy and entertaining read.

The books I'm currently reading: Wonder, by Robert J. Sawyer; Pomosexuals, edited by Carol Queen and Lawrence Schimel, with preface by Kate Bornstein; and The Mighty Book of Boosh, by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding.

Wonder- I have not gotten very far into this third book in Robert J. Sawyer's WWW trilogy, but already I'm hooked. Sawyer is all-time favorite author, and this book seems that it will not disappoint. The previous two installations in this trilogy were certainly must-reads, and so far this one seems to be as well. On a related note- I am certainly looking forward to seeing him at the up-coming Phoenix Comicon! :D

Pomosexuals- I'm almost all the way through this collection of essays and I highly recommend this book. The title is a shortening of the term "post-modern sexual", which is a term they are using to speak about those of us queers who do not quite fit in the established categories as far as sexuality, gender, or both, or to those who blur across the lines of the established categories....It's been a fascinating read, and of course a topic that is near and dear to my own heart. The book contains a wide variety of essays, each interesting in its own way.

The Mighty Book of Boosh- As I have been doing for quite some time now, I am very slowly treasuring my way through this fabulous masterpiece of Booshy goodness- savoring each page along the way.

What's up next:

The Year of the Flood, by Margaret Atwood. I checked this book out from the library, and plan to read it once I finish Wonder. It looks good- it's set in the same world as Oryx and Crake was. It may be a bit before I get to it, as I've just barely started Wonder. Then after The Year of the Flood, I'll probably choose another King book.
